Still on this motherfuckin' roll, bro. XD Here's chapter seven! Please read, review, and enjoy!
I do not own Prince of Tennis or any of its characters.
For the last month, everything had been running smoothly. Tezuka had Fuji back. He was no longer his exboyfriend. Tezuka had Fuji back as his boyfriend, and he didn't plan on losing him again. Which meant, for the last month, he'd been in a better mood than he had for the previous seven years. The team had noticed, but Sasaki was the only one stupid enough to call him out on it.
Slowly, Fuji was beginning to let Tezuka in again. It was starting to shape up to be just like old times. Late night playing tennis, staring up at the stars afterwards, whispered 'I love you's when the other was least expecting it. Fuji made Tezuka feel like he was eighteen again. Like he was a teenager in love.
And even though they were so in love, they both agreed that they had to keep their job away from their relationship. So at work, they were just Tezuka and Fuji, a detective and a forensic scientist. Away from work, they were Kunimitsu and Syusuke, forever and always in love.
"Tezuka."
Tezuka looked up from the files he was shifting through. They were scattered about his desk, some of them open, others overflowing from all the papers in them. Hayashi was holding out an evidence bag with what looked like a torn fragment of fabric in it. "Sasaki forgot to take this evidence down to the lab, and he has tons of paperwork to catch up on. Do you mind?"
Tezuka nearly smiled at the familiar words. "Not at all," he replied. He stood up and took the bagged evidence, along with the clipboard that needed to be signed. He was used to picking up after Sasaki by now, and sometimes, he didn't actually mind doing it. He stepped into the elevator, and as it started going down, he looked over all the paperwork that was clipped haphazardly to the clipboard. When the elevator doors opened, he walked through them and didn't look up until he was in the lab. "Fuji, I-" He cut himself off abruptly.
Fuji was sitting at his desk, looking at his computer screen. That was normal, and it wasn't why Tezuka had stopped. He had stopped because there was a pair of feet sticking out from the bottom of Fuji's desk, and Fuji was saying, "not yet," softly.
"Syusuke!"
Fuji looked over, startled, his eyes wide. There was a clang and a long string of swear words as whoever was under the desk hit their head on the bottom of it. Fuji rolled his chair back and helped the person out from under the desk.
And for some bizarre reason, Fuji was smothering a smile. "I know this looks really, really questionable."
Tezuka nodded slowly. "Kind of, yes."
"He's a computer tech." Fuji gestured to the guy standing behind him with a dismissive hand. "He was working on my computer. He asked me to tell him when a window popped up on the monitor."
Tezuka blinked, then relaxed a little. "Right. You need to sign off on this."
Fuji didn't bother trying to hide his smile this time. He crossed the room and took the evidence and clipboard out of his hands, signing the page with his loopy signature.
"You always did jump to conclusions," Fuji said quietly, so only Tezuka could hear him. "It's cute."
Tezuka frowned and rolled his eyes. "I get off at five tonight."
Fuji's smile shifted into a smirk. "Then so do I. Can we get a bite to eat after work, then? Since it'll actually be a reasonable hour as opposed to midnight."
"Sure." Tezuka took the clipboard back and smiled. "It's a date.
...
"What's the score?" Fuji called when he scored another point.
Tezuka grinned. "I thought you were keeping track!"
Then they met at the net. Fuji draped his arms around Tezuka's neck and Tezuka pulled him over the net in order to get him closer. They kissed, and just like the very first time seven years ago, everything around them seemed to melt. They could only feel each other, and nothing else in the world existed, as far as they were concerned.
They pulled apart when they had to breath, but then they pressed their foreheads together.
"I love you," Fuji whispered.
Tezuka smiled. "I love you, too."
They glanced at the fence when they heard the gate creak open, but they didn't pull apart until they heard a familiar breezy voice say, "We thought we'd find you here."
"Ahn~, Ore-sama told you so, Seiichi."
"Shut up, Keigo."
At this, Fuji and Tezuka jerked apart, blinking in surprise at the four people walking towards them.
"Is this for real?" Fuji asked softly.
"I think so," Tezuka replied.
Then Fuji launched himself forward, tackling Yukimura into a hug. Yukimura laughed and hugged him back, holding him close for a second before releasing him. Then Fuji moved on to hug Atobe, who smiled and hugged him back as well.
"It's so good to see you guys," Fuji said, his voice muffled against Atobe's chest.
Sanada, standing a bit behind Yukimura, smiled good naturedly. "And what am I, a tree?"
"You look like one," Fuji replied, wrapping his arms around Sanada's mid-section. Sanada chuckled and patted his back lightly.
"Syusuke, Syusuke, Syusuke, Syusuke!"
Jirou easily claimed Fuji's attention. Fuji turned to him and allowed himself to be glomped into a huge, excited hug.
Yukimura turned to look at Tezuka, who was still standing where he was when his best friends randomly walked through the gates not a minute earlier. "Kunimitsu, I know you're not really the touchy-feely type, but would it really kill you to give us a hug, con-"
He was cut off when Tezuka threw his arms around him, an action that surprised Atobe so much that he actually laughed. Tezuka moved to hug Atobe as well.
The diva cocked an eyebrow, looking from the animated Fuji back to the former Seigaku captain. "I thought you guys broke up after we graduated. Did something happen?"
Tezuka smiled and gazed at Fuji for a moment. When he spoke, he didn't even bother to look away from his boyfriend. "Destiny?"
Atobe scoffed. "I thought you didn't believe in destiny, Kunimitsu."
Tezuka finally tore his eyes away from Fuji to look into Atobe's eyes. "I think Syusuke change my mind."
The end of this chapter was complete and total fail. XD I apologize for this. This might be the last chapter. But I might write another if I feel like it.
This is, however, the last fic in this series. I'm not writing anymore for this. At least I don't plan on it, anyway. XD
